Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council procured regulated reablement services for people recovering from illness or another circumstance affecting their independence. The service is intended to provide timely support that helps people develop or regain skills, restore confidence, maximise independence, improve emotional wellbeing and access their communities. This is a social care and related support service, classified under CPV 85300000. Delivery is across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, for the council based in Truro. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is a light-touch public service requirement, focused on practical, person-centred support rather than goods, construction or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Cornwall Council selected Stayathome on 22 May 2026. The award value is £57,000,000, while the active contract records a value of £4,500,000. The contract was signed and started on 1 June 2026, with the award record giving a service start date of 8 June 2026; the initial period ends on 31 May 2029. Extensions can take the arrangement to a maximum end date of 31 May 2033, with total duration of up to seven years. There was one lot. Twelve valid bids were received. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. Economic and technical participation requirements applied.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Cornwall Council for regulated reablement delivered across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to provide timely support across the area, together with staff and systems capable of helping people regain skills, confidence and independence after illness or another disruption. Experience in regulated social care, homecare or reablement would be directly relevant, as would the ability to support emotional wellbeing and community access. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence both economic strength and technical capability, and to show how their service delivers quality and measurable social value. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so a focused specialist provider may be well placed to compete.
